US Chamber of Commerce Spends Millions in Multi-Pronged Attack

Time to introduce a new weekly feature to Davemanuel.com called the "Weekly SuperPAC Spending Report". This report will be released every Friday afternoon.

In the "Weekly SuperPAC Spending Report", we'll look at the spending of all of the SuperPACs over the past seven days. Who spent the most? Which candidate was targeted the most? How much was spent by SuperPACs in total?

If you are wondering what a "SuperPAC" is, here is a definition from our SuperPAC page:

'The "superPAC" is like a traditional PAC (Political Action Committee) without many of the restrictions. For instance, a "superPAC" can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money for the sole purpose of supporting or opposing political candidates.

A "superPAC" can directly attack a political candidate. The only caveat is that a "superPAC" is not allowed to coordinate directly with candidates or political parties.'

Over the past seven days, the FEC (Federal Election Commission) listed a total of 167 SuperPAC expenditures. In total, SuperPACS spent $13,865,671 in the past week.
